About National Centre for Research Methods

The National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) provides cutting-edge research methods training and capacity building across the UK. The centre runs a diverse programme of courses, workshops and events throughout the year, covering a vast array of topics in a variety of interactive formats. In addition to our training, we produce learning materials, host an extensive library of online resources, conduct research and support innovation in research methods. Through these activities, NCRM aims to advance methodological practice in the social sciences and beyond, across all disciplines and sectors. Our training and resources are designed for both academic and non-academic researchers, and cover core, intermediate and advanced methods. Partners and funding NCRM is a partnership between two universities with international reputations in methodological research and training in the social sciences: the University of Southampton and The University of Manchester. This core team is complemented by a network of partners from across the UK, which deliver and advise on training, and provide subject expertise diversity. NCRM was established in 2004 and has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council through a number of phases. The current five-year funding phase runs between January 2020 and December 2025 and focuses on training and capacity building.
